Artist, Mexican, born 1957

The image shows a large flock of birds flying across the sky above a landscape. The horizon line is above the middle of the image, with low-lying trees and a distant mountain range visible. In the foreground, there is barren land extending to a small building near some trees. The building appears simple and rustic. The birds create a dense formation in the sky, adding texture to the scene. The color palette is monochromatic with various shades of gray, creating a high contrast between the dark silhouettes of the birds, trees, and building against the lighter sky and mountains. The image is presented in black and white, giving it a timeless and dramatic quality.
